Description
Arthur Ransome's Racundra's Third Cruise is a fascinating account of his honeymoon voyage in 1924. Before writing the Swallows & Amazons series, Ransome was a journalist based in Russia and had a distinguished career as a sailor. This book tells the story of Ransome's third cruise on board his beloved boat, Racundra, which took place before he married Evgenia Shelepina. Although Ransome intended to publish the account of this cruise, he never finished it. Fortunately, his unpublished manuscript and personal notes were discovered by a Ransome enthusiast, Brian Hammett, who compiled this book with his own notes from similar cruises in the area. The result is a captivating volume that will appeal to sailors, history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in Ransome's life and adventures.
